New Delhi: The Congress on Friday sought apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the government told the Supreme Court that it could not disclose the names, received from foreign governments, of people who have allegedly stashed away their ill-gotten money to tax havens.

"If there is the slightest bit of political honesty, the prime minister should apologise to the nation," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi told the media here, recalling how the Bharatiya Janta Party during its stint in the opposition had taken on the erstwhile United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government over the issue.
